Life is Good Today: MC's 2-year checkup
http://aarpatrick.blogspot.com/2012/09/mcs-2-year-checkup.html
Monday, September 10, 2012. But then I became the parent of a 2-year-old, and I realized it's just not worth fighting with them). She's tall for her age! Pffft She was laying on the floor, woman. She sent us into the first waiting room, and we made MC get onto the table. She didn't want to. The nurse proceeded to stick things in her ear and poke her with that cold stethoscope, so MaryCollis screamed and threw a huge fit. Even after the nurse left, she was still screaming. Exhibit A:. 3) She's very healthy.

Life is Good Today: Mother's Day 2014
http://aarpatrick.blogspot.com/2014/05/mothers-day-2014.html
Monday, May 12, 2014. My mama and the one who first made me a mama :). The past two weeks have been just plain awful. In fact, this school year has been just plain awful. With the end of the year so obviously close, it is so incredibly far away. Between both kids being sick, bad weather causing school closings and ruined interwebs, personal matters, my last living grandparent's passing, crazy happenings at school, and end-of-year testing. I'm just happy to be here. Last time we ate at Domenica, we were n...

Life is Good Today: MC's 2nd Birthday was a HOOT!
http://aarpatrick.blogspot.com/2012/09/mcs-2nd-birthday-was-hoot.html
Saturday, September 15, 2012. MC's 2nd Birthday was a HOOT! MaryCollis' 2nd birthday party was a roaring success. Sixth Avenue is a bit of a zoo when it comes to children, but there is a lot going on this time of year so I didn't know if we should expect 3 kids or 33. Well, nearly every child that lives on 6th under the age of 6 was at the party and we probably had 30-40 people total. It was crazy for a while! Owl bag favors filled with goodies. Owls made from paper lanterns. Mary Clayton said, "Take my ...

Life is Good Today: Road Trip to OKC
http://aarpatrick.blogspot.com/2014/07/road-trip-to-okc.html
Saturday, July 5, 2014. Road Trip to OKC. Five years ago I met three girls from Kansas. It was completely random that all three of them moved to Laurel and none of them knew each other. One of them became my closest friend after Chad and I got married, and we saw each other every single day. We shared wine and recipes and fought over who had the worst mother-in-law. When Lauren announced she was taking a road trip to see our mutual friend Ashley and her baby, I told her we would be tagging along. I l...

Life is Good Today: Pinterest Weekend
http://aarpatrick.blogspot.com/2015/01/pinterest-weekend.html
Thursday, January 22, 2015. Last weekend gave us an extra day since we were off for MLK Day. I decided to use such day trying healthy recipes I found on Pinterest. I've taken about 3 months off from healthy eating and exercise due to play season and the holidays, but the scale don't lie. And the bastard basically yelps in pain when I step on nowadays, so I decided it's high time I got back to it. 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa. 1 1/4 cup nonfat milk. 1 tablespoon garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped. I thi...
